264 Text Handling

your site in a way that means text using that font will appear correct to everyone viewing
it, whether or not they already have that font installed.

To help your website load faster, only Western characters are included in the embedded
font, unless your document uses other characters also.
When you export or preview a website document that uses fonts that aren’t web safe,
Web Designer Premium will show you a warning, listing those fonts that will be
embedded in your website. This helps to remind you that your site includes embedded
fonts. You can also see which fonts a document is using, together with its permissions by
viewing "FILE" > "DOCUMENT INFO..." See Font permissions (on page 264) for more info.

Some fonts do not permit embedding in a document or website. Web Designer Premium
detects such fonts and will show you a separate alert if you attempt to use any such fonts
in your website document. You should change to a different font that is either web safe, a
Google font or a font that does permit embedding.

Font permissions

When embedding fonts there are four levels of font permissions, that is to say four levels
of usability depending on how the font has been licensed. The four levels are...
1. Installable - the most permissive level. Allows the font to be embedded in the
document and installed permanently on the guest computer.
2. Editable - Allows the font to be embedded in the document but only allows it to be
used temporarily on the system.
3. Print and Preview - Allows the font to be embedded in the document but only for
printing and viewing purposes.
4. Restricted - The font cannot be embedded in a document.

Apart from the warnings Web Designer Premium shows you listing those fonts that will
be embedded in your website, it is also possible to view their permissions levels by
looking at the DOCUMENT INFO. Go to "FILE" > "DOCUMENT INFO...".
